Our hearts are very full here in Abalta Special School today, as we look at our sensory garden with such awe and pride! 🌺 🪴💐🌳🍄

We had an absolutely PHENOMENAL group of volunteers from our amazing neighbours at Medtronic come out to us for the day and completely transform the garden! 😍

Graziele, Alexia, Anna Maria, Stuart and Patrick we cannot thank you enough for bringing this space back to life and giving our amazing kiddos the opportunity to enjoy this space properly again! ☀️

How lucky we are to have such amazing people surrounding our school and our kiddos, supporting us bloom 🥰🌼🌻🪻

Pixies sad goodbye to our incredible student Anouk, with the release of our first butterfly. Anouk has worked in our class since March, a kind thoughtful and enthusiastic member of our prefab and pixies team. She planned and organised cool lessons for us, she made incredible resources and really was the perfect addition to our little gang. We will miss her so much, but know she is fully ready for the world of teaching 🥰 wishing you every success Anouk. Visit us soon xx 🦋🦋🦋

After 12 super weeks we had our final Forest Schools with Siobhan.

And for the first time we all sat together for our greeting 🥰 music, art, creativity, nature walks, we had it all, in good weather and bad.

Thank you so much Siobhan and the Heritage Council for a wonderful outdoor learning experience 🍃🌿🪾🥬🍁

Summer in Ireland- no better time to learn all about the different weather systems! 😅🌡🌧🌤🌪

The hedgehogs were showing off their understanding of the current weather conditions. It got rather windy in class today and just for fun they got all dressed up. 🤣

It was a fun in the sun kind of day ☀️❤️

We couldn't POSSIBLY spend the day cooped up doing school work, so we did what we do best- have fun ☀️🌊

Out came the sun cream, the pool and the water guns and we had some gorgeous water play all day! Students and staff kept themselves nice and cool with water fights, splashing and some dips in the pool! 🔫🔫 It's so fun when we can all get together and just have some good fun! ❤️

And you can't have a pool party without some delicious refreshing treats- so ice creams for all! 🍦 Well earned treats for the best kids and staff in town (if I do say so myself)

Long may this glorious weather last ☀️⛱️🍦

Mia turns 7! 🎂

Happy birthday to our wonderful Mia, who brings us so much joy and love! We did it Mias way today, no loud silly singing, just a little bun, and a candle. And Mia blew out the candle for us too. Lucky us to get to celebrate you 🎉🪇🥳

Thank you to Galway and Roscommon ETB and our wonderful friends and neighbours in Merlin Park Secondary School for inviting our students to participate in their Indoor Sports Day. 🎾 ⚽ 🏑

All students got to meet and play and compete with other students from all over galway. We were all delighted to join other local schools to show off our special skills and to learn new ones too. 🥰

We even got to have a well earned treat of an ice-cream after all of our hard work! 🍦 We all recieved a celebration t-shirt and a medal for our achievements. 🏅Wahoo!! Well done Hedgehogs! 👏🏻

We can't wait to all get together again soon 🙂🙂

Sweet treats for the sweetest guys and girls in town! 🍰🍦🍫

A broken ice cream van won't stop us getting our hands on delicious (and well deserved)treats! 🍬 Our amazing kiddos were spoiled rotten today with treats to celebrate the super humans they are!

Our gorgeous and amazing Home Ec teacher Chloe made an INCREDIBLE rainbow cake with us. 🌈 She visited each class, and they each got to make a layer! Then combined altogether into a delicious Abalta rainbow cake! Made by our amazing kiddos 😍

We can't celebrate on a sunny day without ice-cream! So each class made their way to our amazing friends in Spar Parkmore for a nice refreshing treat 🍦🥰

And finally Our always amazing neighbours in Abbott Abbott delivered an unbelievable 30 Easter eggs for all of our kiddos to enjoy! 🍫

Jumping for joy and celebrating the amazing people we are! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜

To celebrate the end of Autism Acceptance Month, we had so much fun enjoying the sunshine with an awesome bouncy castle, from the always wonderful Jumping Jacks Bouncy Castle Hire! And the smiles and joy say it all 😍

We never take for granted here in Abalta how lucky we are to work with the students and families that we do! 🥰

Everyday our students show us how beautiful they are with their spirit, uniqueness, charm, intelligence, humour, mischeviousness, kindness, love and all around amazing-ness!

Autistic people have to work hard everyday to try and thrive in a world that isn't always built for them- the very least we can do is show and encourage acceptance! 🌍🫶🏻 Which we try to do everyday in Abalta Special School

To our students, we love you! Thank you for being the best 😍
